Issue with locαting HTML with Selenium

Trying to learn Selenium for Python (3.4.0) and have had success with the basic things - installing, opening browser and web page, so on. But when I try to open a specific HTML form I am met with an error - something to do with the 'driver' at the beginning of the 'driver.find_element_by_name'.

My code is:

#vocab express logger onner

import selenium

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException


browser=webdriver.Firefox()


browser.get("https://www.vocabexpress.com/login/")

uname = driver.find_element_by_name("uname")

uname.send_keys("13holmee")

and the error message is:

    uname = driver.find_element_by_name("uname")
NameError: name 'driver' is not defined

Sorry if this too simple a question or has been asked before (I couldn't find anything), I'm still new to this.

Thanks

There is no driver in your namespace, because you have not defined a variable with that name.

find_element_by_name is a method of the webdriver.Firefox object, which in this case you have named browser. Try uname = browser.find_element_by_name("uname").
